couple of unique things about it...
1.) the ice chest is not damaged in any way (it stays in 'like new' condition) so you can use it like a regular ice chest any time you want to.
2.) the entire blower/tube assembly comes off the top so you can carry it around and use it with any other water source that you like.
3.) it's the strongest DIY AC i've ever made (the most efficient too). two gallons of ice produced cold air for over 3 hours.
4.) also, has the fastest air speed by far of any Air cooler i've ever made. shoots the air all the way across the room.

I grew up in the 60's and 70's with "swamp" coolers and I love your dry cooling devices. Thanx.
-
LOVE it! It’d sure help the elderly who don’t have AC to keep cool dangerously hot days. And so affordable!
-
I can't express how excited I get when the notification comes across my phone that you posted a new video. It's ALWAYS something cool and useful.

Nice, thanx I'm working on a ac unit for my 5×5 grow tent you have given me lot's of options 😀
-
Brilliant! Simple and practical. Thank you for sharing your genius with us!
-
You know I was loooking forward to this video!!
-
I was actually wondering when you'll upload new video and here you are. Thank you for that.
-
Great design, and it looks like it's very powerful. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
-
Wow! Awesome project! So well thought out. Congrats!!
-
I love your great ideas! 😉👍💗
-
You're cool ! You're creative ideas are cool, as well !

thanks for sharing your build, I built one changed a few things used a 4 inch dryer hose instead of making my own tunnel and I added a small piece of wood to lift the front up slightly, I think honestly this is the best build I’ve seen and simplest, Great job Man!

Hey check this out, if you go with the 4 inch sea flow inline, The 4 inch sewer pipe makes a perfect tube! Im using a heat gun to make flat spot for the cooler and the inline with a gasket locks into the flanged side of the sewer pipe for a nice snug fit! you now have a perfect wind tunnel thats way more efficient and sturdy and just a clean look. Im going to also do mine closed loop and use antifreeze with a flat transmission cooler that fits the bottom of a cooler. then water and crushed ice on that then layer of cubes and then dry ice and then blocks over that inside one of those yeti type coolers but walmart has some that are way cheaper but have same performance and USA made.. You have really inspired me on this because I do a lot of camping and stuff like that and I had something close to this but it was ugly and bulky. but trust me on the closed loop two radiator system it really runs so much better because the water friction isnt being exposed to the ice. I know it sounds weird but running water produces heat but when closed away the heat is way less. when the ice melts around the dry ice it seals and acts as a pressure vessel and the CO2 forces into the ice and doesnt dissolve as fast in fact wrap it in paperbage tight as you can then get it wet and it really seals it up. Thanks again for the long transmission cooler idea I didnt think those existed. I should have known but thats life take care

I think this is the better option for me because in a camper van in Australia i don’t want to add moisture in the van like the air over the ice options out there. I did think the only changes id make and id love your thoughts, was to add a stainless steel reservoir inside the cooler using antifreeze in the lines so it can go colder than freezing and hopefully keep the ice frozen longer.

Wow‼️👏🏼🥰

The oil cooler as the heat exchanger is an excellent choice - it makes it very DIY friendly. Can you use some flexible duct pipe (like you used for the silencer) around the heat exchanger to guide the air over it rather than the wire mesh construction? I wonder too if you could pre cool the air with an evaporative (swamp) cooler to reduce the ice consumption? The air flow is already there as is the pump and piping...tap into that water and pipe the water to a suitable media perhaps?
-
Another great idea! Now all you have to do is keep those ice blocks from melting!
-
Parts list would be great 😊

Always love these creative thermal transfer techniques.

Awesome ❤🙏🌈👍
